Polkit fails out completely if camera is busy

[Jinra]

This issue is very similar to #772. However in this case it relates to the camera being busy (such as being in a video call) vs the camera not being plugged in, and the work around identified in #772 does not work in this case.

The Problem:

If the camera is busy, such as in the case of a video call, and a polkit auth dialog box pops up, it will fail out and immediately close the dialog box, not giving me the chance to enter a password instead. I tested this behavior with sudo and it fails to password as expected.

This is how my /etc/pam.d/polkit-1 file is formatted

#%PAM-1.0

### Howdy ###
auth       sufficient   /lib/security/pam_howdy.so
### Howdy ###

auth       include      system-auth
account    include      system-auth
password   include      system-auth
session    include      system-auth

Here is a segment of the log file from the event where I had a polkit dialog box pop up when my camera was busy. While it tries three times according to the log, visually I only see it error out once then close.
